Showing papers in "Social Networks in 1999"

TL;DR: It is proposed that local regularities in the form of transfers and exchanges in the interplay between exchanges and transfers of three types of social resource help to provide structural solutions for the problems of collective participation and status competition in such organizations.

TL;DR: This paper is a primer on how to use these important breakthroughs to model the relationships between actors within a single network and provides an extension of the models to multiple networks.

TL;DR: It is shown that multilevel methods are particularly well-suited for the analysis of relations in personal networks and the changes in these relations.

TL;DR: The analysis concludes that, for the type of disease transmission network studied, relatively simple ego-network-based network measures can be adequate to the measurement of vulnerability to disease and infectivity.

TL;DR: The name generator succeeds in measuring “core” discussion networks, though with somewhat nonspecific content, and implications for the measurement of personal networks in sample surveys are discussed.

TL;DR: A generalized framework for hypothesis testing as a means of controlling for size and density effects is provided, and this method is applied to several well-known sets of social network data.

TL;DR: It is found that the greater the quality and diversity of the social resources available through a woman's social network, the more likely she is to be working for pay.

TL;DR: The results show that the binary scale and the first presentation of measurement instruments are the least reliable, but surprisingly, the two data collection techniques yield equally reliable data.

TL;DR: In this paper, a longitudinal study of 2057 older adults who identify 18,915 relationships at T 1 was conducted, where a relationship is regarded as discontinued if it is not identified by the older adult at the second and third observations.

TL;DR: Given a relation α and an a priori equivalence relation π, both on the same set of individuals, it is interesting to look for the largest equivalence πo that is contained in and is regular with respect to α.

TL;DR: It was found that each balance-theoretic model is characterised by a particular type of semicycle or path, which is more general than triadic analysis because it handles complete as well as incomplete signed digraphs.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the dyadic models of Fienberg and Wasserman, and propose a framework for the statistical analysis of sequential dyadic interaction data, which combines latent class and social network models in one integrated framework and allows for the simultaneous study of measurement and dyadic structural issues.

TL;DR: A fairly general purpose programming environment for inductive rule discovery is established that can be used, for example, as a high-level decision support system for social and cultural anthropologists.

TL;DR: This work considers the summary measure both for an observed finite sample and for the unobserved underlying probability structure of the binarized data, and suggests ways to account for this uncertainty.
